Struggling Through Reality
Today I did sweet fuck all. People must of left early in the morning because the house was empty apart from Tom and Becks when I woke up. Much to my disappointment, all of the balloons from last night had been popped and were laying in a pile of balloon corpses in the middle of the living room.
I did decide to set up a gaming clan today called SkrynetGaming. I did a bit of work to the forums. Its not finished yet but when it is I will post a link on my blog page to it. Im trying to make a community rather than a clan. Something that clans can join and still remain independent so eventually lots of clans will be working together waving the same flag in a way. Kind of like when America became the United States Of America. I want to create a place where clans can work together and play games to have fun without having to deal with sad fucks that insult people and play a game 24 / 7 just so they can kill newbies and feed their massive egos. More info on the community to come.....

Face Of Mankind Game Review
Gameplay 8 / 10
Now this game has got some things missing from the gameplay. For example, your character in most online shooing game be it MMOFPS or MOFPS moves a lot faster than what they do in Face Of Mankind. I don't mean just running speed but moving side to side in Face Of Mankind is very slow compared to other Massive Multiplayer First Person Shooters I have played like Hellgate London, Tabula Rasa and Huxley.
"A good screenshot demonstrating the excellent Graphics and GUI"
The game isn't as fast paced as what it could / should be and it doesn't work like a third person shooter should. I know its not supposed to be like counter strike as its a totally different style of game. The problem is, the damage that weapons do isn't great enough. Because things like head shots don't effect people as much as they should, most battles consist of loads of players running round in circles with each other shooting randomly. When your in third person or on the outside of a fight looking in, it looks retarded. if a headshot meant one hit kill, there would be a lot more skill involved in the game and there would actually be proper sniper fights and people ducking behind scenery a lot more.
All this in consideration, even now after playing Face Of Mankind for years, I still get an adrenalin rush when I enter a fight with another player. One problem that I have found though is that there seems to be some sort of collection of items that everybody uses. Everyone uses the same gun, booster items and armor in fights because a certain combination provides the best stats. I haven't yet been told this combination of items and let into the secrets of PVP so I suffer but I want to play a sniper class of character rather than a spastic that runs about in circles shooting at the floor. However, playing a sniper is pretty much impossible solo unless you finish off guys that other guys have shot a few times first.
Graphics 9 / 10
The graphics are brilliant. I don't know what engine is used or how the game is developed but the graphics look very smooth, the textures are at a good quality and it can be run on a low spec computer without a problem! I like the way that the scenery is also simple. I hate it when online games try to put too much detail into scenery such as grasslands with tiny objects scattered around the floor to try and make your surroundings look more interesting as all it does is make the game lag. The developers of Face Of Mankind have kept the scenery simple and yet the surroundings still draw your attention and look interesting and colorful.
Community 4 / 10
The community is pretty horrible. There are quite a few players but not enough players that know what they are doing for the game to work correctly. For example the Law Enforcement Department are supposed to keep players safe in areas such as New York City but there is hardly a police officer to be seen when you get shot at. The problem is that most people join the game, don't understand role playing and just want to run around killing people for no reason.
There are rules and regulations that you have to follow in factions but it looks like the leaders have given up on the hordes of newbies that are joining and ignoring the rules. Also there are some groups such as "Built" that contain leetist fucks (Leetist means someone who takes games seriously and when they kill someone on a game it feeds their real life ego) that just go around killing newbies and players for no reason. They seem to get joy from annoying people as when you message one asking why they killed you, you tend to get replies such as "Shut up noob" or "cry more kiddy" or my fave "come back when your leet like me noob".
This game is full of assholes and the only time that admins step in is when people threaten you with real life actions. The admins don't give two shits about players winding up others for their own amusement.
Administration 4 / 10
The administrators are good at updating the game, creating add ons, holding events and things like that but when it comes to a players well being they couldn't give two fucking shits.
The game is free to play but if you make more than one account all your accounts on your IP are banned instantly unless you pay for a premium account. My housemate and me couldn't play for free because Face of Mankind refused to accept the fact that house shares of young males you enjoy gaming exist and that there is no way that two people in the same house might want to play the game at the same time. Fucking idiots.
The administration need to concentrate more on people in the game. If the "Built" unit joined a game I hosted and started ruining it for new players because they get a thrill out of taking fun away from other people and being selfish fucking cunts I would ban them instantly. All of them. The admin team need to fucking wake up, have more of a presence in game and stop people resorting to real life threats by punishing the people winding them up in the first place.
Overall Score 7 / 10
The game is worth a try just make sure you are thick skinned and don't mind being killed over and over again until you get good at player versus player battles.
If you give this game a go I suggest joining the LED, GOM or FDC as they have the friendliest people in their factions and give good help to newbies. You can also go to Necars field to hunt aliens if you get fed up with players always kicking your ass.
If the admins do something about the assholes in game, the higher ups in factions abusing their powers and the lack of safe areas, it would be a great improvement and would really boost this games rating in my opinion.

My Twinity Life
Not much was happening again tonight on Twinity as at one in the morning the server is going down for maintenance so not many people bothered creating events. However, there was another event being held at "The Counts Club" tonight the party was a lot bigger with a lot more people which means a lot more awesome screenshots.
Carolyn was there as well. See some people would say im her stalker but I choose to believe that she just reads my mind from some where else in the world and appears the places I visit before I get there. Maybe using some sort of interstella mind communication device sitting in her spaceship throne room surrounded by..... ok Dell starting to sound crazy just stop there.....
Anyway, there were pole dancers, men running round in mankinis, a bartender smoking what looked like a spliff, nude girls and of course a party couldn't be a party without Bjorn entering through the door and shouting "Hi @ All!" he could be a super evil bad guy. Imagine that entrance if he had an army behind him carrying a death laser kicking in the door, swaggering in and shouting "HI @ ALL!" LOL!
I think it beats scarface's "Say hello to my little friend".
"Some fancy footwork and fancy dancing!"
"Not a great shot but I liked it because it looks like she is about to
put her hand over the camera lens before trying to escape more
photos. A proper paparazzi shot! LOL!"
"Assume the UFO abduction position!"
"This is my new fave screenshot I have ever taken. Took me ages
to get it perfect I must of looked like a proper pervert
standing there watching her dance for ages"
"God knows what this customer is thinking. To be honest he looks
like the type that sold the barman that "Cigarette" hahaha"
"I thought my blog contained too many pictures of girls half naked
so I thought I would post something for the ladies..... this isn't
mr by the way"
"Delluzeonist decided he was a bigger fan of the video entitled
two girls one pole rather than two girls on cup"
